Can't taste any worse than then the 'fruit' flavour of most gels.
Still have some of the special edition winter shandy gels (with Adnams Ghostship ale). Preferable to normal fruit flavours imho...will get some of the summer shandies in for when my current stock runs out

Yup - I have one f these and there was something about it that I thought was especially crappy given the cost - possibly those rubber bands.ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -

A Fagor short sleeve jersey. Had one of these in long sleeve over 20 years ago but the elastic on the waist perished.
I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -

Funnily enough one of those was the first proper bike tool I bought.meanredspider wrote:itboffin wrote:Dyrlac wrote:How much of a bike nerd does it make me that I just bought one of these:

Yup - I have one f these and there was something about it that I thought was especially crappy given the cost - possibly those rubber bands.
I don't know that I've had £50 of usage out of it yet, but it did prove very handy when I had to drill out the threads on my trek and put in a droput saver - trek wanted a hundred odd quid to replace the hanger.
I think the rubber bands are the only part of it that might need replacing in 50 years time.0 -
For the gravel bike, after taking our new dog for a walk on the Ridgeway last week and meeting a few cyclists who didn't bother to announce their approach when descending at speed behind us. I've always hollered a friendly "bike behind," when approaching walkers or horse riders, but figured a bell might be even better after last week's role reversal.....

Sound is very clear being front-facing and doesn't take up much room on the bars at all.

I've got those one the family bikes; both the expensive kickstarter ones and the cheap Chinese imitations. Excellent bells. Still roundly ignored by all pedestrians but they sound nice and clear.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

You can blame me for the shoot weather, thought it was getting warm enough for a proper summer jersey. Soz :oops:

After this weekend's chainsplosion followed by a 6km walk of shame & taxi of even more shame (and expense), a couple of emergency chain tools so I can try them out for action purposes before adding the winner to the "carry" pouch...0

Chrome? Unfortunately not. Always forget about the image search function of google as well though.

Always an idea to carry a quick link in your saddle bag.Man Of Lard wrote:After this weekend's chainsplosion followed by a 6km walk of shame & taxi of even more shame (and expense), a couple of emergency chain tools so I can try them out for action purposes before adding the winner to the "carry" pouch...0 -
I had one (actually, I had 3! stashed in various rescue boxes etc) - which made it all the more annoying - no way to get the snapped link off to insert the quicklink.elbowloh wrote:Always an idea to carry a quick link in your saddle bag.0 -
Cheap padded wheel bag from DFS Planet X - £10.
Colour scheme reminiscent of Wimbledon F.C. strip circa 1977-8, but will spend 99% of its time in the cellar, so no biggie.Location: ciderspace0 -
I bought one of these. By God is it "race fit". I'm a medium or large in most, but XL in this is tiiiigghht. :shock:Luv2ride wrote:
